now well-known by the top media in the field. Beginning with
her association with Paul Krugman more than 5 years ago, Barbara
has steadily carved out an impressive series of progressive clients, including

touch with editor Philip Turner of Avalon Publishing who ultimately
published Joe's book, THE POLITICS OF TRUTH, which became a

still believed in the project, made sure that it got published, then
followed through by helping to make it a bestseller.
